Time Spent on OM? - The Orange Mane

Vegas_Bronco · 11-03-2005, 08:49 PM

I've been dying to ask this for years (2):

How old are you guys/girls and where in the hell do you work that allows the time dedicated to the OM

Some of you are on this site all day?

Note: you don't have to make it too personal, just give me some idea of age (range, ie: 20-25) and occupation (no entity names). Sorry if it's already posted somewhere but it is 'bye' week and I need to shape my future career according to some of yours obviously.

I don't get paid by the hour but I'm curious to see who is 'the most 'unprofitable' profitable poster on the OM (multiply hours per week spent on OM at work x hourly wage and just give me a total? or not?)

Age: 21
Why I'm On Here So Damn Much:
1) I procrastinate. I'm doing it now actually. I'm at home with homework to do, yet I'm here.
2) I have a joke of a job on campus, it's an information desk, and I just sit on my laptop, do homework, etc.
3) My classes require me to bring my laptop and be connected. And instead of listening to what the teacher has to say, I post here, shop on eBay, and read ESPN.com
4) Since I go to classes, I don't work a 9-5 or anything. If I don't have a class until 1 on a particular day, you might find me here that morning.

Teacher/waiter/actor. I don't post too much, but I do lurk a lot!

GreatBronco16 · 11-03-2005, 08:57 PM

29 years old. Have been a mechanic for a number of years and just spent 6 months in Cali on a private contract repairing military vehicles for the National Guard to do their training in before they shipped out to Iraq. The contract ended and now I'm back home building computers and doing doing part time theater work. I'm waiting to hear back from a guy that has started his own company so hopefully I'll have another full time job. The wife is a nurse so if I'm out of work for a bit, she can more than cover everything.

DomCasual · 11-03-2005, 08:59 PM

I'm 36 and I own my own marketing business.

I don't spend that much time on the OrangeMane. I have to keep disciplined so that it doesn't cut into quality time that I set aside for fantasy football.

Substitute Childcare teacher...and of course, I have another reason to hang around here during the evening.

Oh yeah...I'm not always here but it may look like I am since my pc is on most of the time.

I'm the same age as Hogan

PatsWin2002 · 11-03-2005, 09:26 PM

38 - QA Engineer for internet stuff.

I'm online all day anyway. I can be launching code from one browser and posting on the Mane in another.

Therefore, my internet work and internet fun time are totally woven together. I'm actually working right now.

Crushaholic · 11-03-2005, 11:07 PM

35-I work in the office of a construction company. Most of the time that I'm on here during the day, I'm waiting for a labor report to generate. That's MY idea of multi-tasking...

Billy Clyde Puckett · 11-04-2005, 04:22 AM

Own a consulting company. Work at all times of the day and night. Usually log on when waiting for tasks to complete.

Don't post a lot but I'm lurking since years.
IT project engineer @ 41 euros/h. Don't spend that much time during work on the Mane, as I live in Europe it's not really that busy during my working hours. But I do read all the daily new articles in the DP,RMN etc. and the newspapers of the enemy of the given week ( starting point is always http://www.prosportsdaily.com/nfl/nfl.html ).
I guess it's about 1 h per day at work I spend doing this. I'm not neglecting work for it, as I only read when I have nothing else to do.

I agree! It's BYE week time, so I say lets "make hay while the sun is shining!"

Let's crunch the numbers - How about this:
Number of total posts X rep points % time online = "P.E.R." . . . or "Poster Efficiency Ranking"

Now I don't claim to have ALL the answers . . . I admit that one week, my rankings might have SoCal ahead of the Texas posters, while the next week it's the other way around. But I do know one thing: Our rankings damn sure won't allow Bitter Tom Osborne's spite-vote to put Georgia Tech ahead of our Buffaloes!

Something like this...kinda

I am 25. I am a very large procrastinator as well

I will sometimes be posting on here in class, but I try not to.

All my classes are blocked pretty close to gether so once I am done for the day, I can do whatever. That is, when I am not working one job for 20 hours a week, doing my work study for another 8 hours, planning a wedding, coaching a soccer team, and trying to maintain my 3.57 while taking 18 credit hours. Hence the reason my posts come in spurts.

I also live in a van down by the river!

Ninjafied · 11-04-2005, 06:14 AM

I’ve always assumed most everyone on the main board was fairly normal. Sure some people drink more than others and some spend their free time in different ways; but overall fairly normal.
Now, this thread would be a whole lot more interesting if you could dredge up some answers from the politics forum.

rbackfactory80 · 11-04-2005, 06:31 AM

25, work at a college with a comp right in front of my face.

In grad school-between that and the research work I do, I am in front of the computer a lot. So therefore I use OM as a study break...

29, I work in the IT department for a real estate company located in Texas and use the internet all day long.

Hogan11 · 11-04-2005, 07:12 AM

I work for NY State in emergency services....there's lots of down time in that job, so here I is.

It's a job where if there's no action, that's a good thing for everyone.....no one is getting hurt and nothing is going wrong...we're allowed a few liberties and this is one for me.

Age? It's not how old you are but how old you can pass yourself off as that really matters.....I'm shining my youthful appearance on for as long as I can, believe me

WAN/LAN IT Manager (Routers & Servers only no managing people!)

I pop in throughout the day as time permits when waiting on tasks to complete. I work late hours so I don't mind spending time here.

I won't give you a hard dollar figure but it is in the $75-$90k yearly & Salaried, no freaking Overtime.

BMF Bronco · 11-04-2005, 07:23 AM

30, software sales, on the internet all day and I just don't give a $hit. I get my job done, call me a multitasker.

East Coast Regional Sales Manager for a Consumer Product Company

If I'm on the road (2-3 days/week) I don't visit the Mane until I'm in my hotel room late at night.

If I am working in my home office (the other 2-3 days/week), I usually have 2-4 windows open all day (O-Mane, ESPN Radio, CNN.com, etc.)

In an office people make lots of visits to the Water Cooler and bathroom. To the home office worker, this is our equivalent.
